]]>Microsoft Office OneNote is one of the best application when it comes to note-taking, it gives a flamboyant look of your notes, includes lots of features; from recording videos to drawing, creating tables, etc. One of its feature which has been overlooked is the ability to recognize text from images. It has inherent OCR (Optical Character Reader), which immediately extract text from any image file format. So we can use Microsoft OneNote as Image to Text converter.

]]>In Microsoft windows XP, whenever something went wrong, a dialogue box is displayed asking your permission to send error report to Microsoft team online. You should be connected to internet for using this feature. If you send error report to Microsoft, Microsoft experts will discuss to find its solution. If similar error has been reported by anybody earlier. Then Microsoft will provide you link to webpage containing solution to that problem. So this can help you in running your windows XP computer more smoothly and efficiently. If you don’t want to share error generated on you computer with Microsoft team, you can simply select “Don’t Send” option on error reporting message.

Sometimes this error reporting can create some disturbance to you when it prompts more often. In that situation, if you don’t want to receive error reports on your computer, you can disable “Send Error Report” message. Every time any error occurs while running windows XP, you will not receive any error message.

]]>You’ve bootable USB flash drive with latest software to solve computer problems, but what if a PC’s BIOS won’t let you boot from USB? Here we will discuss about creating a bootable USB to Boot From a USB Drive Even if your BIOS Won’t Let You.

This boot menu, like many created before USB drives became cheap and commonplace, does not include an option to boot from a USB drive.

A piece of freeware called PLoP Boot Manager solves this problem, offering an image that can burned to a CD or put on a floppy disk, and enables you to boot to a variety of devices, including USB drives.

Put PLoP on a CD

PLoP comes as a zip file, which includes a variety of files. To put PLoP on a CD, you will need either plpbt.iso or plpbtnoemul.iso from that zip file. Either disc image should work on most computers, though if in doubt plpbtnoemul.iso should work “everywhere,” according to the readme included with PLoP Boot Manager.Burn plpbtnoemul.iso or plpbt.iso to a CD and then skip to the “booting PLoP Boot Manager” section.

Put PLoP on a Floppy Disk

If your computer is old enough to still have a floppy drive, then you will need to put the contents of the plpbt.img image file found in PLoP’s zip file on a floppy disk.

To do this, we’ll use a freeware utility called RawWrite for Windows.
We aren’t fortunate enough to have a floppy drive installed, but if you do it should be listed in the Floppy drive drop-down box. Select your floppy drive, then click on the “…” button and browse to plpbt.img. Press the Write button to write PLoP boot manager to your floppy disk.
Booting PLoP Boot Manager

To boot PLoP, you will need to have your CD or floppy drive boot with higher precedence than your hard drive. In many cases, especially with floppy disks, this is done by default.

If the CD or floppy drive is not set to boot first, then you will need to access your BIOS’s boot menu, or the setup menu. The exact steps to do this vary depending on your BIOS – to get a detailed description of the process, search for your motherboard’s manual (or your laptop’s manual if you’re working with a laptop).

In general, however, as the computer boots up, some important keyboard strokes are noted somewhere prominent on the screen. In our case, they are at the bottom of the screen.

Press Escape to bring up the Boot Menu. Previously, we burned a CD with PLoP Boot Manager on it, so we will select the CD-ROM Drive option and hit Enter.

If your BIOS does not have a Boot Menu, then you will need to access the Setup menu and change the boot order to give the floppy disk or CD-ROM Drive higher precedence than the hard drive. Usually this setting is found in the “Boot” or “Advanced” section of the Setup menu.
If done correctly, PLoP Boot Manager will load up, giving a number of boot options.

Highlight USB and press Enter.
PLoP begins loading from the USB drive.
Despite our BIOS not having the option, we’re now booting using the USB drive, which in our case holds an Ubuntu Live CD!

This is a pretty geeky way to get your PC to boot from a USB…provided your computer still has a floppy drive. Of course if your BIOS won’t boot from a USB it probably has one…or you really need to update it.

]]>If you need to install Windows or Linux and you don’t have access to a CD/DVD drive, a bootable USB drive is the solution. You can boot to the USB drive, using it to run the OS setup program, just like a CD or DVD. Here we are going to discuss about few tools which will help us in Creating a Bootable Windows or Linux USB Drive.

The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool is an official, freeware tool from Microsoft that allows you to install Windows 7 and Windows 8 without having to first run an existing operating system on your computer. You can change the boot order of the drives in your computer’s BIOS so the Windows 7 installation on your USB drive runs automatically when you turn on your computer. Please see the documentation for your computer for information about how to access BIOS and change the boot order of drives.

WiNToBootic is another free tool that allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive for installing Windows 7 or Windows 8. It supports an ISO file, a DVD, or a folder as the boot disk source. It’s a standalone tool that doesn’t require installation and it operates very fast.

WinToFlash is a free, portable tool that allows you to create a bootable USB flash drive from a Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003, or Server 2008 installation CD or DVD. It will also transfer a Windows pre-install environments (WinPE), which are handy for troubleshooting and repairs, to a USB flash drive. You can even use WinToFlash to create a MSDOS bootable USB drive.

UNetbootin is a free program for both Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X that allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions instead of burning a CD. It runs on both Windows and Linux. Either use UNetbootin to download one of the many Linux distributions it supports or provide the location of your own Linux ISO file.

The Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator allows you to convert a USB flash drive or SD card into a drive from which you can run your Ubuntu system. You don’t have to dedicate the whole drive to the Ubuntu system. You can store other files in the remaining space.

The program also allows you to create a drive for Debian, or any other Debian-based OS for which you have a CD or .iso image.

7. Universal USB Installer

Universal USB Installer is a program that allows you to choose from several Linux distributions to install on a USB flash drive. Select the Linux distribution, provide a location for the appropriate ISO file, select your USB flash drive, and click Create.

Rufus is a small, portable program that allows you to create bootable USB drives for Windows and Linux. It also allows you to check the USB device for bad blocks, using up to four passes. Rufus runs in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. You can create bootable USB drives for the listed versions of Windows, as well as almost all popular Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE.

Rufus is very easy to use and the program looks like the default format window shown in Windows when you format a hard disk partition, USB drive, or other external drive.

In addition to Windows and Linux systems, you can also use Rufus to put utilities on USB drives, such as Parted Magic, Ultimate Boot CD, and BartPE.Click here to download

]]>Your browser is the centerpiece of your internet experience and keeping it nice and portable is an awesome luxury.
You may not have heard of a couple of these Portable Browsers, but each and every one brings a unique benefit to your portable arsenal. Don’t let the fact that you may not have heard of them stand in the way of finding your new favorite browser.

Avant Browser
Now its the time to gothrough the portable version of Avant browser,The browser’s portable version is officially ready to download from their official website.

Avant is like a souped-up version of Internet Explorer. One of the main differences is how well Avant handles Flash, in comparison. Avant is

only a little slower than the current Firefox build, which puts it plenty ahead of IE’s speed. It’s also got a ton of features built in, like
ways to disable on-page sound, scripting, and animations right out of the box.

Pale Moon
What Avant is to Internet Explorer, Pale Moon strives to be alongside Firefox. Pale Moon is an alternative, slim-downed version of the
Firefox browser that is built on Firefox’s official source code. The browser has been around for years and has been proven to use less memory
than the original Firefox without the user being able to notice much difference alongside the powerhouse browser that Mozilla has on their
hands.

Browzar
Browzar has a distinct advantage over the rest on this list in respect that the official build of the original browser itself is portable.
Browzar leaves an incredibly small fingerprint and is one of the most secure and easy-to-use browsers that I’ve used right from a flash
drive.

While it does lack somethings in the features category, Browzar can’t be beaten when you’re looking for something to jump on and jump right
off with. Browzar will even clear every single bit of sensitive, session-specific data after closing.

Opera
I decided to save the best for last. While Opera may already be my favorite official browser in the first place, it is not the Opera team who
developed this third-party portable port. Nonetheless, it’s flawless. It’ll even update alongside released Opera versions and still maintain
it’s portable status.

Other than that, there’s really not too much more to explain about Opera@USB. It is simply Opera in a portable package. Give Opera a shot
just for a few days and I promise you’ll start to fall in love a little.

Google Chrome Portablev24.0.1312.57
Google Chrome is a minimalistic browser designed for simplicity and speed. Its appearance and capabilities can be extended with themes and extensions. The program is WebKit-based similar to Apple’s Safari.

Google Chrome Portable is a version created in the PortableApps format and includes automatic support for jPortable to enable web-based Java apps. For users interested in the cutting edge, the beta and development branches are also available.

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured web browser that’s easy to use. It has lots of great features including popup-blocking, tabbed-browsing, integrated search, improved privacy features, automatic updating and more. The launcher bundled in the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your favorite browser along with all your favorite bookmarks and extensions with you wherever you go..!!

]]>Microsoft launches Office 2013 software suitehttp://etruco.com/2013/01/microsoft-launches-office-2013-software-suite/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=microsoft-launches-office-2013-software-suite

]]>Microsoft has officially launched a new version of its Office software suite.
Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook have been redesigned to work better with touch-screen-controlled computers.
They also integrate the firm’s Skype video chat facility. Users can add further functions via a new app store.
The programs account for a major part of Microsoft’s earnings. The firm hopes to keep users loyal by offering more powerful features than cheaper online alternatives.
In the last year the firm’s Business Division, which creates the software, generated just under $24bn (£15.2bn), roughly a third of the firm’s revenue.
However, a 4% dip in the US company’s most recent quarterly profits was linked to the fact that many consumers had held off buying the older version of the software ahead of the revamp.
If it proves a success it might also drive sales of new Windows 8 or Windows RT-powered computers, which can take advantage of the applications’ improved touch controls.
Studies suggest users are switching to the systems at a slower rate than they adopted Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Microsoft confounded rumours by not releasing a version of the Office software for Apple’s iPad tablets. It has also decided not to offer the products on Android devices.

Cloud storage

The retooled software offers a touch mode that makes several of its controls bigger so they are more finger-friendly as well as including the ability to swipe and pinch-and-zoom documents. Files can also be viewed in “read mode”, which displays them in a format that particularly suits tablets.
By default, files are saved to the firm’s SkyDrive online cloud storage facility, although users can choose to save them on their hard drive if they wish.
Additional plug-ins are available from a new Office Store. These include the ability to add Twitter functionality to the Outlook email tool and to consult Encyclopaedia Britannica articles from within Word.
Many of these are free, although US firm Sensei Project Solutions is among the first to charge a fee, for its “task analyser”, which is designed to identify problems or missing information in users’ documents.

Subscription details

Subscription rates of Office 365

Consumers can buy the suite for use on one PC for $140 – £110 in the UK – but Microsoft appears to favour a subscription deal for its Office 365 Home Premium edition, which is the focus of the promotional activity on its site.
This charges $100 (£80) for one year’s access on up to five PCs or Macs and bundles in 60 minutes of Skype calls a month as well as more SkyDrive storage.
The prices mark a discount on the fees the company used to charge for Office, reflecting the competition it faces from the growing popularity of cheap and free alternative applications offered by Google, Zoho, Apache OpenOffice and others.
“Over the past two years Office has been Microsoft’s largest revenue stream,” Colin Gillis, senior tech analyst at BGC Partners, told the BBC.
“But it’s more than just sales – it’s the glue that keeps users coming to the Windows operating system.
“It’s the one thing that the iPad doesn’t have. Microsoft is missing out on revenue by not selling it for Apple’s device and at some point they may have to in order to prevent an alternative blossoming – but for now it gives an edge to Windows and the company’s own Surface devices.”
A version of the online Office 365 apps for businesses is due for release on 27 February
